Quotables
I was able to throw my curveball for strikes, change was around 82, wasn't very good today. But the fastball was where it was at today, so I was able to go deep.
The first time I faced him I had him 2-2, threw a sinker and he grounded to shortstop. It was, 'OK, maybe there's a bit of a hole on the inside' … But inside is where he can hit it, and he hit it pretty good.
I saw the ball flying, and I was like, 'OK, I got it.' That one feels good. I couldn't stop laughing.
I'm having trouble driving off my back side and keeping all my weight on my back side. It's been bothering me for a while, so we'll get through [Sunday's] game and talk about a course of action.

Peralta making strong first impression with D-backs | dbacks.com
Six games into his Major League career, David Peralta is making an impact with both his bat and his glove. Peralta is batting .429 (12-for-28) and has a hit in each game in which he has played. Moreover, he made a leaping grab at the wall in the bottom of the ninth that helped put the Rockies away on Thursday.
D-backs have some decisions to make | FOX Sports on MSN
With J.J. Putz nearing a return, the Diamondbacks' roster situation is getting a little complicated. The organization planned to look at various scenarios following Sunday's game, Gibson said, and the most likely one appears to be third baseman Eric Chavez will be placed on the disabled list to open a roster spot.
